Not sure what happened to me today but I bought no aircraft kits, just 2 vehicles! :o

Aurora 1/48 MBT-70. Precursor to the M-1 Abrams MBT. This is the original 1969 release in the square box with a vacform base. Only £15, probably get more on Ebay.

Revell 1/25 Corvette Indy "Dream Machine". I just love the styling and looks of this 1986 concept car with 'Exotic 21st century interior'!

I can go to heaven, as I've bought an Airfix 1/144 SRN Hovercraft on Ebay along with a 1/72 YF-23.
Thing is do I build them as per instructions or Whiff them?

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

1/144 Hovercraft - get a 1/144 Harrier and make it a mobile operating base!

I agree that the Summer Verdant MERDC looks pretty good. I was thinking of the modern Bundeswehr 3-colour scheme because the original was boring dark green all over.

I'm quite a fan of the winter scheme, the red desert version is quite eyecatching too.  Most of them are also on Don Color.

Major impulse buy off Evil-bay from Top*Model:

1. Amodel Yak-130 with the really cute winglets - Canadian Coast Guard with A-37 drop tanks for littoral patrols.
2. Toko P-63C - Something 1946 Far East. Either Russian or Chinese
3. Sky High T-34C. Canadian Coast Guard trainer
4. Sky High T-34C. USAF Vietnam COIN A/C. Replacement for T-28. Yeah I know it did not publicly fly until 1977 but the SOS and ACS got the first batch in 1971.
5. Amodel I-320P Rocket A/C. My MPM J8M1 Shusi needs company.

Lots of stuff

Won a RoG 1/200 Zeppelin NT airship off ebay. You could say I'm on a lighter-than-air kick.

From ebay: 1/600th Airfix HMS Belfast. Probably going to get spliced with an Airfix County class to make a missile cruiser conversion at some point.

Revell 1/72 F-16C Tiger Meet 2003 - to be real world. Gorgeous scheme!  :wub:
Cheers,

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Gah! Squadron has a 24 hour 25% off sale! Even though I really should NOT add to my stash, I had to buy a couple of models. I ordered the Italeri Leopard 1A5 and the Hobby Boss Leopard 2E (same as their other up-armored 2A6 versions). Both are slated to be built as vehicles for my fictional Aventine Ground Defense Force. No serious "whiffery" other than paint, markings and hopefully some FN 58/M240/GPMG to replace the MG3s.
Some clever and amusing quote goes here.
